Average erosion on America’s cropland apparently lias changed little since 1977, Peter C. Myers, chief of the U.S. Department of TRI-STATE AUTOMATION Route 9. Whitehall Rd. Hagerstown, MD 21740 (301)790-3698 J&R SERVICE, INC. 215 N. Cornwall Rd. Lebanon, Pa. 17042 (717)273-6232 Agriculture’s Soil Conservation Service, reports. Preliminary data from the agency’s 1982 National Resources Inventory show that the l average annual rate of sheet and rill erosion on I cultivated cropland in the U.S. last summer was 4.8 tons per acre, down from 5 tons per acre estimated during a similar inventory in 1977. Jerry S. Lee, resources inventory director for the agency, characterized the change as “in significant.” He added that final data from the inventory, including state-by-state data, are expected this fall. Other preliminary data from the 1982 in ventory show that 31 percent of the nation’s nonfederal rangeland was an excellent or good ecological condition and 61 percent was in fair or poor condition. About 8 percent of the rangeland has been seeded to non native grass species and therefore was not classified as to con dition. Lee said these data' are the first national statistics on range condition that were collected using national inventory sampling techniques. They show little change from 1977 conditions but represent a significant im provement from con ditions recorded in an extensive study con ducted in 1963. For the 1982 in ventory, USDA soil conservationists and other trained specialists recorded resource conditions at 1 million sample points across the nation. The lowa State University Statistical Laboratory is compiling and processing the data. r y J' In' xk r\ » . A LESSON WELL LEARNED... LANCASTER FARMING'S CLASSIFIED ADS GET RESULTS!
